The conflict between Russia and Ukraine will last "many more months" based on the current situation, said US Secretary of State Antony Blinken on Wednesday."As best we can assess right now, we are still looking at many months of conflict," Sputnik quoted Blinken as saying during a press briefing.US State Secretary reiterated his country's position that the conflict could be over right away if Russia ends its military operation in Ukraine, but added "We don't see any signs of that right now."Blinken underscored that the US will support Ukraine as long as the conflict lasts and ensure that the country has everything it needs to defend itself against Russia.On February 24, Russia launched a "special military operation" in Ukraine after Donetsk and Luhansk reportedly requested help to defend them from alleged attacks by Ukrainian troops.The Russian Defence Ministry said the operation is solely targeting Ukrainian military infrastructure and the civilian population is not in danger.The United States, as well as nearly 40 Allies and partner countries, are working to expedite shipments of arms and equipment essential to Ukraine's defence.Over USD 3.9 billion in U.S. arms and equipment delivered since February 24 has been critical in helping Ukraine defend its sovereignty and territorial integrity.US President Joe Biden announced on Wednesday a new Ukraine military assistance package, which includes HIMARS rocket systems."Today, I am announcing a significant new security assistance package to provide timely and critical aid to the Ukrainian military," Biden said in a statement."This new package will arm them with new capabilities and advanced weaponry, including HIMARS with battlefield munitions, to defend their territory from Russian advances. We will continue to lead the world in providing historic assistance to support Ukraine's fight for freedom," he added.In a statement published by the White House, Biden said the people of Ukraine continue to inspire the world with their courage and resolve as they fight bravely to defend their country and their democracy against Russian aggression."The United States will stand with our Ukrainian partners and continue to provide Ukraine with weapons and equipment to defend itself," he added.( With inputs from ANI )Disclaimer: This post has been auto-published from an agency feed without any modifications to the text and has not been reviewed by an editor
